Drabarimos – De la magie la psihoterapie

Abstract

Starting from the idea that any offer follows of a possible request, we can admit that both magical practices and psychotherapy come as a response to some needs of people, more or less aware but, yet, manifested. In this workpaper, I propose myself, on the one hand, to highlight the role and contributions of Roma women in preserving the mental and emotional health, but also the well-being of individuals in a pre-psychotherapy and contemporary psychotherapy society. The specialized literature attributes this practice of predicting the future mainly to the Roma under an apparently ethnological approach but full of essentialism, stereotypes and prejudices, and even, sometimes, as a form of fraud.
